Runner reports being attacked at Haddon Lake Park

People on the jogging path at Haddon Lake Park said they feel a sense of fear after a woman was attacked on Sunday night as she went for an evening run.

"I am alarmed and I am keeping up my guard," said Cindy Irvin of Audubon, New Jersey.

Police said the woman was running on the path around 7 p.m. when a man grabbed her. She fought him and suffered cuts and bruises, but she got the attacker to back off. He was last seen running toward the baseball diamonds.

"She was able to resist. Fought off the attacker, ran away and called police," said Mt. Ephraim Police Cpt. Brandon Siefert.
